Does anyone have any info on theis wine/: Hundred Acre 2004, Ancient Way Vineyard - Summers Blocks. Shiraz from Australia. I could not get info from the site search.

Had a bottle of this at Dovetail in NYC last week (great restaurant on the Upper Westside, BTW) Terrific shiraz, improved ALOT with time from decanting, 600 cases produced, Summers Blocks located adjacent to Greenock Creek vineyards, supposedly Penfold's Grange cuttings. Here is the Wine Enthiusiast review:

Incredibly dark in color but light on its feet, this wine somehow manages to hide its 15.5% alcohol under fruit that's neither overblown or jammy. Spice- and herb-driven complexity is the order of the day, with scents of violets lending an exotic note to the aromas. It's mouthfilling and palate-coating but wonderfully balanced, picking up hints of black olive and espresso on the lingering finish.

Cheers!

I think it's a Parker 103+ pointer.

Powerful, elegant, complex, packed with concentrated black fruit and layer upon layer of subtle spice, mocha and smoke nuances.

It's mouthfilling and palate-coating but wonderfully balanced, picking up hints of black olive and espresso on the lingering finish. Good now, but appears to have the stuff to evolve over at least 10–15 years.

"Inky ruby. Pungent dark berry and kirsch on the nose, along with a complex array of game, spice and floral accents. Lush and creamy, with concentrated blackberry and cassis flavors, gentle acidity and a building impression of Asian spices. Nothing jammy here. The expansive finish features building blackcurrant and bitter cherry fruit and impressive length.

I really didn't look too hard. Find yourself some "Layer Cake" Shiraz, or Malbec, Or Primativo. They're all <$20. They're really tasty. You won't be impressing anyone with the cost, just the sensibility.
